Traces a downwards-pointing ridge with a polyline. Use when the edge's side walls do not qualify as area clusters for volume support.
| Parameter | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
|
Minimal, Maximal edge length |
Edges beyond the range of lengths specified here are disregarded for applying supports. |
|
|
Maximal polyline curvature |
Sets the curvature that a polyline may have at most. If this maximum value is exceeded, a new polyline begins. |
0-180° |
|
Maximal edge angle to XY-plane |
Describes the maximum angle between an edge and the XY-plane. If the maximum angle is exceeded, the edge is disregarded for applying supports. |
0-90° |
|
Create anchor on curvature |
Defines on which curvature of the edge a new anchor point is added. The anchor points are created around the edge. |
0-180° |
|
Neighbor area angle |
0-90° |
|
|
Anchor distance |
Sets the distance between two anchor points. |
1-100 mm |
|
Contour offset |
Sets the distance between an anchor point and a clear area. |
0-5 mm |
|
Startpoint distance |
Sets the border distance between the edge and the start of the support structure |
0-5 mm |
|
Reinforcement lines per side |
Adds additional polyline supports parallel to edges for reinforcement. |
0-5 |
|
Reinforcements distance |
The additional parallel polyline supports will be this far apart. |
0.01-10 mm |
|
